oops I was thinking 70's. I missed the 1975 cutoff.
Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Does Jaws count as horror?
Does Jaws count as horror?
It does to me. I believe that seeing that movie way too young is what put me off horror for life. I thought about it everytime I swam at the lake house growing up. And that's freshwater!
yes! Now I need to watch it again.
The Last House on the Left
t shudder
I watched Sunshine last night. I have to agree with everyone else that it's good until it stops being good.
Yes, really. Such potential. Such a fine story for 80% of the movie. Such a bloody nonsensical waste.
To a lesser degree this could also be said of Doomsday which manages to be gory fun with a relatively cohesive but strained storyline, which then just flushes it down the loo and decides to wrap things up as if everyone making it was kind of late for the last bus home. No meaningful narrative or emotional resolution in the thing.
Doomsday... Yeah. It's like a live action Reaver movie. I really like the director - he made one of my favourite horror movies, The Descent, which cares about it's characters and is AWESOME - but the last bit of Doomsday is pretty rubbish.
DH is blurbed on the Son of Rambow DVD cover & website!! Squee!
That's supercool!
The Dark Knight trailer...as performed by kids. It's awesome.
